We started our next class novel! This was sent home this week. All students were given a copy of the book with a ziplock bag. Please note that if either the book or bag are not returned, there will be a small fee to replace the item. Please keep it somewhere safe. Students are required to read 20 minutes a night. Please encourage them to read out loud to someone in the family. The 20 minutes can be exclusively reading our class novel, or a combination of the class novel and book on their lexile level. We will be having weekly book discussion on the book so please encourage them to read the assigned chapters for the week. This week’s chapters will be chapter 1-3. So excited to start this novel study! Let me know if you have questions!

Learning for the next two weeks:
COOKIE DOUGH FUNDRAISER-Watch this video about the cookie dough fundraiser! Students can start selling on Monday, September 16th; they’ll need everything turned in at the office on Wednesday, September 25th. Angelee and Dr. Dave will be passing out Spooky Speedster prizes on Tuesdays and Thursdays before school starts in front of the library. All other prizes will be shipped to the school AFTER the fundraiser is over.
READING passages were sent home last week. Just a reminder that fluency is how fast we read per minute. The goal is to increase our fluency while making sure that the words we read are correct. I will be sending home these passages weekly and can be part of their 20-minute daily reading. Please support their reading and encourage them to try to beat their time with their fluency. There are also spelling words attached they can practice spelling in any creative way they would like, as well as comprehension questions they can fill out on Thursday night. They should bring these papers signed and returned back to me each Friday. Students will be rewarded with tickets for papers brought back by Friday. If your child does not bring home and reading passage, have them read 20 minutes from a book of their choice. We will start lexile levels in a couple weeks.
TUTORING will be starting this week. Students recently learned how to take their first comp check to prove proficiency last week. I will be starting tutoring by invitation this week. You will receive an email if your student could benefit from attending.
What we are learning…We will be focused on the same learning this week in Math, ELA, and Science.
Hope you had a fantastic Labor Day Weekend getting the last bit of summer sun in. We will be focused on the same learning this week in Math, ELA, and Science.
Students will be learning how to take their first comp check to prove proficiency this week. So check in with them as the week progresses on how they are doing. I will be starting tutoring by invitation this week. I will email you if your student could benefit from attending.
I am attaching a yearly treat and movie form to be filled out by you that will cover the entire year of events. Please fill out this form as quickly as possible so that your child can participate in all the upcoming fun activities. Click here to access the permission form for the year.
Our first field trip is quickly approaching. We will be going to the American West Heritage Center in Cache Valley on Thurs Sept. 26th. Please fill out this form to give permission for your child to participate.
A bus will take us to the park from Quest at the beginning of school and bring us back to Quest that afternoon. The suggested donation will be $5 per student to cover all expenses for this field trip. Please pay your funds to the office or online before Sept 20th so we can get a good count.
Also please indicate on this form if your student is going to attend and what they will be doing for lunch (whether its home or school lunch)
Also we will be taking 6 chaperones to attend with each class. Chaperones chosen will need to ride the bus with us and have a group of students they are in charge of throughout the entire field trip. The chosen chaperones will need to pay the Quest office a $8 field trip fee. Please indicate if you are willing to attend and pay the chaperone fee and I will be randomly selecting the 6 lucky chaperones.
Please Note : Younger siblings are not allowed on the field trip since we will be taking the bus and do not have room for them to ride the bus with us.
We are starting our weekly lessons this week. Listed below are lessons/standards of Math, ELA, and Science. Please ask your students questions relating to these topics. I will be starting tutoring next week. Tutoring will be on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:15 to 3:45. If your student needs to attend tutoring, you will be sent an email asking your student to attend.
Picture day is coming this Wednesday. Students will wear school uniforms for these pictures. The link provided below will direct you to pre-ordering.
If you have not signed the class disclosure and back-to-school forms, please do so now.
Just a reminder to pay the student fees in the office to help cover your student’s supplies. Link I have already purchased these items for this year. If you would rather purchase them yourselves, they must meet the description on the class supply list.
Students need headphones starting this week. Please send them by tomorrow. If you need to borrow or purchase headphones send me an email. 🙂
